bdf2png convert a BDF file into a number of transparent PNG files
bdf2png BDF_FILE
This script takes the BDF file 'BDF_FILE' and creates a PNG file for each character defined by the BDF file. For a BDF file named "kanji48.bdf", each PNG file will be named "kanji48.STARTCHAR.pdf".
It uses the Font::BDF::Reader module to read data from the BDF file, and the GD module to create the PNG files.
The module Font::BDF::Reader.
The specifications for the BDF format can be found here: http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/PDFS/TN/5005.BDF_Spec.pdf.
